The debacle surrounding the release of documents related to the late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein has created a significant amount of dissension within the MAGA ranks in recent weeks.
And one name, Attorney General Pam Bondi, has emerged as the person critics say bear the most blame.
After promising to review and release a trove of related files regarding Epstein, including a so-called client list, the Justice Department now claims that no such documents exist.
For podcast host and former Fox News personality Megyn Kelly, the onus is now on President Donald Trump to address the root problem, as the Daily Caller reported:
“I don’t think President Trump is focused on this. He’s focused on a lot of other things which are going great, and he needs to be focused on those other things. Jeffrey Epstein’s not the most important thing on his agenda by any stretch of the imagination,” Kelly said. “I just don’t think this has captured his attention quite yet. But it needs to because it’s starting to create a real hornet’s nest within the administration, and, I’ve got to be honest, I blame Pam Bondi.”
ADVERTISEMENT“I have nothing — yes, incompetence, yes. I have nothing against Pam Bondi as a human being,” Kelly added. “I was fine with her nomination and her confirmation, and she’s been loyal to the president, and I get that President Trump needs a loyal attorney general, but there are a lot of other people who can be loyal and competent in that job.”
Trump vowed to show transparency on cases such as Epstein’s as well as the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy. Public demand to release the remaining Epstein files had built. By February, Bondi appeared on Fox News’ Jesse Watters, saying the “files” were on her desk and that the public would see “a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, [and] a lot, a lot of information.”
Just a day later, on Feb. 27, Bondi came under fire from the public after giving conservative influencers a binder labeled “Epstein Files: Phase 1.” With the information in the binder placed under a brief embargo, it was later revealed that the files contained little new information.
“She is the reason that things are unraveling around this story right now that virtually all of the Republican Party cares deeply about. It’s also true that Dan Bongino and Kash Patel had questions about Epstein before they took office, OK, before they went to the FBI. But once they joined the FBI, they said nothing. They kept their mouths shut about Epstein,” Kelly said.
HOLY CRAP! Megyn Kelly is on TV LAMBASTING Pam Bondi, and calling on her to RESIGN
“I blame Pam Bondi!”
“She has never missed an opportunity to go on TV and dangle sweet nothings.”

Plenty of social media users have similarly taken a dim view of Bondi’s actions on the matter:
Pam Bondi said the Epstein client list was on her desk to review for release to the public just a few months ago. Now the DOJ she leads claims that there’s no Epstein client list.
Sorry but this is unacceptable.
Was she lying then or is she lying now?

Bondi’s the one who had to pull the trigger on the Epstein files, not Bongino
If this were up to Bongino, he would’ve released the Epstein files on day one
Pam Bondi is the weak link, she cannot survive this, she has to resign, she hasn’t indicted anyone
I TRUST BONGINO

Days before Kelly’s latest remarks, she provided a similar assessment, as the Daily Beast reported:
“Her days are numbered as a member of the Trump administration,” Kelly declared on her show Tuesday as the internal MAGA fallout over the Epstein files continues.
Bondi had previously declared that the alleged child sex trafficker’s client list was “sitting on her desk” in February, before backtracking this week to declare that there was no list and the case was no closed. Kelly slammed Bondi over the inconsistencies Tuesday, pointing to the supposed Epstein bombshell binders Trump loyalists posed with months ago.
“Pam Bondi knew she was about to embarrass some of his most loyal surrogates out there, and did that willingly, or she didn’t take the time to make sure what was in those binders,” Kelly said. “It was all publicly released information that had already been out there…She was too lazy to actually figure out none of this is new, and yet she called a meeting with the influencers that included Kash Patel, the head of the FBI, and the sitting vice president.”

Not only is there a minute missing from the Epstein cell video, BUT IT WASN’T EVEN THE RIGHT CAMERA ANGLE.
What the DOJ gave us was a partial view of the facility, which JUST MISSES Epstein’s cell. We’ve… pic.twitter.com/CFo3pSpsaG
